I don't understand... doesn't this make the obvious incentive to just turn all bathrooms into all gender bathrooms? If I was subject to paying a $10k fine if the wrong person was in my bathroom, I'd be like "ALL GENDERS IN ALL BATHROOMS ALL THE TIME!"

The AI bros (who clearly don't understand AI) in the comments are hilarious. "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". LLMs have no concept of how intelligent a question is, and they certainly were not designed to deliberately give stupid responses if they deem your question too stupid. 1/?

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

I see a couple life lessons about work here:

1) if you become unreliable because you don't think management has your back, management will often see your unreliability as a reason to not have your back

2) if your employee doesn't see how being on your team furthers their career goals...

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of โ€” and reward them for โ€” that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval."

Five years later, these 10 corporations still arenโ€™t funding election deniers Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

i have been reading Tom Ricksโ€™ โ€œFighting the Good Warโ€ which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

ICE apparently lacks capacity to oppress more than one city at a time.

This is performative authoritarianism.

performative authoritarianism that has killed people, yes. Itโ€™s not a joke.

But it is also incapable of any sort of meaningful authoritarian consolidation.

They lack the numbers to win.
